sata_sil Driver on a PowerPC

I am using the 405EX "Kilauea" Evaluation Board from Applied Micro, and am
trying to get a Silicon Image 3124 PCIe to SATA adaptor working on it.

I have modified the Kilauea configuration to include the sata_sil driver with
the following in the configuration file:

	#define CONFIG_CMD_SATA
                                                            
                                                            
                                                  
	#define CONFIG_FSL_SATA         1
	#define CONFIG_LIBATA           1
	#define CONFIG_LBA48            1

	#define CONFIG_SYS_SATA_MAX_DEVICE  2

	#define CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION    1
	#define CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION    1
	#define CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION    1

The PCIe identifies SI 3124,

	=> pci 1.0.0
	Scanning PCI devices on bus 1
	BusDevFun  VendorId   DeviceId   Device Class
      Sub-Class
	_____________________________________________________________
	01.00.00   0x1095     0x3132     Mass storage controller

0x80

but the driver won't initialize,

=> sata init
pci_hose_phys_to_bus: invalid physical address SATA0 (No RDY)
SATA1 (No RDY)

When I boot to Linux and have full access to the drive, so it doesn't look
like a hardware issue.

I have been searching the net for a working configuration, but no luck so far.
Has anyone successfully used this driver?

BTW, I am using the v2011.12-rc1 build.

Hi John,

This is definitely wrong. "FSL" is for "Freescale". So its a driver for Freescales SoC SATA controller.

There is a driver for the SI3124 though. Try this in your config header:

#define CONFIG_CMD_SATA
#define CONFIG_SATA_SIL3114
#define CONFIG_SYS_SATA_MAX_DEVICE 2
#define CONFIG_LIBATA
#define CONFIG_LBA48

Not sure if it works though. I have never used this driver personally.

Best regards,
Stefan

Stefan,

Thanks, but it didn't work. The 3114 is a very different beast from the 3132.

Re-reading the original message, I realized that I had copied the configuration from another attempt (I really have to work on my proof reeding skills). I should have said that I was using the sata_sil.c driver which claims to support the 3132. I am using the configuration:

	#define CONFIG_CMD_SATA

	#define CONFIG_SATA_SIL         1
	#define CONFIG_LIBATA           1
	#define CONFIG_LBA48            1

	#define CONFIG_SYS_SATA_MAX_DEVICE  2

John.

I meant CONFIG_SATA_SIL.

If this doesn't work (I have never used it before), and nobody else has any ideas, then you need to debug this issue...

Best regards,
Stefan
